And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds HEB. 10:24

My view

My view would be our ranch, big, bold and green, sometimes downright freezing. You are suppose to find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow when this rainbow appeared over our ranch I knew this was and will forever be home for me. Need I write how I feel about home, the ranch where my husband and I started dating and now 27 years almost and so many memories have been laid in the corners of my mind at this ranch. Blessed to raise our children here, the horses we love so much, and we are third generation – with the fourth growing up country too. So sit back and let these pictures tell the story of my corner of the world – would be the corner I would zoom to in a heartbeat.

For when you count your day as done and this is your view do you need to be anywhere else other than home?

Julie AKA Gingham Chick

I am a Christian, 50 something mom of 3, wife, rancher, photographer, magical healer of boo boos, listener, friend, secretary, dreamer, creator of Gemdrop Kids, writer with a splash of poetry, and absolutely fascinated with this planet we call home! Tucked away in the Northwoods of Northern MN land of ten thousand lakes plus and Headwaters of the Mighty Mississippi River is where I call home. White Pines, Red Pines, Spruce, Norway and a variety of hardwoods scatter the 40 Acres that we own. We are raising reg. qtr horses, chickens, and flowers on our Diamond Rose Ranch.

Closer, higher. That's how I wish to be. Yes, someday all desires, all expectations will finally be reached. But for now, I simply delight in hoping I can take you along in this upward journey through life. We shall live...fully and passionately!
